Ref: Confidence in Stimulus Plan Ebbs, Poll Finds
Barely half of Americans are now confident that President Obama's $787 billion stimulus measure will boost the economy, and the rapid rise in optimism about the state of the nation that followed the 2008 election has abated, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
By Dan Balz and Jon Cohen
"One factor that continues to work for Obama, however, is that
most Americans still see him as a new type of Democrat, one
"who will be careful with the public's money," rather than an
old-style, "tax-and-spend Democrat" . . . (emphasis added).

Having already put the country in debt
In an amount that boggles the mind,
The basis for judging him as "careful with the public's money"
Surely will be quite hard to find.
It's nothing short of interesting
That public attitudes toward Obama
Suggest that they approve of his starring performance
In our national reality drama.
And re: his media reinforced omnipresence,
Time will tell whether or not he's exempt
From provisions of the time-tested adage:
Familiarity breeds contempt.
(The Supreme Court is aware of the latter,
Refusing to allow TV coverage of its daily routine;
Perhaps there's a viable "exclusion clause"
For one Veep-labeled as "articulate and clean").
